Barclays online banking slow?

Technical Ben · Apr 28, 2011, 15:22:39

Anyone else having a slow access to online banking, or is it just me?

Yes Ben, looks like its on a go slow.

Tried via FF and IE.

Maybe they've got hard drive problems again.

If there are queues at the local cashpoints that'll be it.

It did work but took a couple of minutes.

I've just tried it and it took nearly a minute to get to the login screen.

I'd like to know why since they rewrote the site it refuses to retain my login details even though I have that check box option selected.

Pay day? Nationwide slows to a crawl if you time it wrong at the end of the month.

Yup, pay day, and the bank holiday, I bet.

HSBC must be doing something right then, no slowdowns on FD.

Mine does.
I'd guess it's slow because they use something like a single HP Pavillion as a linux/windows 2005 server.

Yep and its using a Pentium 133
